    Im using Windows Vista but it works fine if I edit HKEY LOCAL MACHINE or CURRENT USER. It just wont work for CLASSES ROOT.

    what user account are you using to set the values remember, not all user account types will have full permission to modify the registry

    you don't need to use "(Default)", instead just leave it empty

    like this registryKey.SetValue("", "value");

    RegistryKey defaultbrowser1 = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("http\\shell\\open\\command", true);

    defaultbrowser1.SetValue("", "a");

    I get an exception:

    System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
